Substance Use Disorder Intervention Program

The city's Substance Use Disorder Intervention Program is a resource for individuals searching for information about substance use, addiction and treatment services. 

Recovery Supportive Living Assistance (RSLA) Program

The Recovery Supportive Living Assistance (RSLA) Program helps residents of Fayette County who are 18 and over and have trouble paying to enter or continue in sober living/recovery housing. The application window is from the first through the tenth of each month. A resident may receive assistance if all eligibility criteria are met and funding is available; eligible applications funded are randomly selected from each month's applications. LFUCG will coordinate with the owner or operator of the recovery residence to provide a one-time payment of $500 in assistance for a resident entering or continuing in recovery housing. All applicants must reside in a home that is on schedule to become NARRs certified. Those sober living homes that are not compliant will not be considered. KRS 222.500-510
